Hagrid arrives on Harry's birthday, July 31. They shop in Diagon Alley, then appear in Kings Cross, and Harry boards the Hogwarts express. Harry wears the same clothes; this means they skipped August.
The films have too many continuity errors, which makes me sad.

In the first movie, Wood introduces Harry to Quidditch and the balls used, including the Snitch.

In Harry Potter and the Order of the PhoenixHarry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the scene where Umbridge fires Trelawney clearly shows scenery behind the cloisters circled. This conflicts with the model. Also, you see part of the model through the "windows," but it does not continue upward.
